Diaries of dogs and cats

I think it has something to do with the universe being out of whack. I know when they suddenly race from one room to another it's because the earth's magnetic field has suddenly shifted and needs to be re-balanced.

We call it "kitty crazies" around here, and it seems to be contagious. One will get it and it will soon spread to the other three. Luckily, it seems to be short lived. Three or four passes down the hall and they're ready for a nap!

I mentioned it elsewhere, but speaking of kitties, DD and I have discovered the Warrior series of books by Erin Hunter. LOVE THEM! DD is grinding her teeth because *I* can read faster and am now 3 books ahead of her!

Cynthia, I recommend you head straight for the youth section of the library and check them out! Everyone else will just have to wait until they can get to their local library or bookstore. (Actually I don't know if you actually work in that kind of a library )

From gardening standpoint, the "medicine cats" use herbal remedies to heal their Clan members. Huh. Just felt a pang of negative connotation from the word "Clan" -- might be American thing though, realized early on when looking up what in the world an "amenity tip"="carrion place" full of diseased rats was, that the author is (are) British.

Without a doubt, cats are mysterious creatures.

BTW, I know medicine cats are make-believe, but do you think animals have some instinctive knowledge about plants for what ails them? Our gerbil is sick -- she's getting old so I'm not entirely surprised, but I've been giving her extra pumpkin seeds (which she'll accept in any case) and dropping into the cage tiny sprigs of thyme, rosemary, green onion, parsley and sage in hopes that one of them might help somehow....
